FINALLY : 6th generation Tempest fighter project coming to an end Nightmare for the #Russian

The #fighter of the future must utilize advanced technologies and a countermeasure radar system, and receive information about targets from other platforms. Stealth is key, and a more powerful engine should give the fighter supersonic speed. Some countries even want to equip the future fighters with directed energy weapons, but more about that later.
The Japan Air Self-Defense Force is actively pursuing the development of their sixth generation fighter.

The Tempest has all of the hallmarks of a revolutionary fighter plane that could surpass the capabilities of the F-22, F-35, Su-57, and J-20. But as they say, nothing is perfect: No matter how good you think your country’s air force is, it doesn’t guarantee you will have air dominance.

The sky over Ukraine is a case in point. Russia was considered by many to have the better air force, yet they are struggling to maintain air superiority. Other countries have noticed – not just the threat of Russia – but that they need war planes that can outfox legacy anti-aircraft defenses and other fighters.

That’s why the British and other partners are placing so much emphasis on the #6thgeneration Tempest fighter project.
